There are 278 babies born every minute. 2-14 of them are trans, depending on various estimates. Every day, it is likely that someone is born who will one day grow up to have a gender unlike that of any living person, even if they are never exposed to the right culture and information to find this gender within themself.

While that's not impossible, I don't know that it's "likely".

Well there are infinite possible genders and thousands already in use, so I think with 2,880-20,160 trans people born each day, the odds are very high.

There are not an infinite number of atoms in the universe.
Being that there will never be infinite number of anything let alone people, no there are not an infinite number of genders.

There are infinite possible positions, infinite possible sizes, and infinite possible numbers of legs.

That’s not how infinity works.

They are not evenly distributed
That's a big part of why there is bigotry; people aren't aware of out-of-1-sigma examples

It was the late 80s
I was graduating college in a liberal town
My conservative younger brother came up, met him in the student union, crowded happening place. "10% society" posters on the walls. He looked concerned: "is it true 10% of the people here are ... gay?"
"Bro... 10% ... of all... mammals... are, so to speak, 'gay'"
